{Recipe Re-Post}Paleo Stuffed Peppers

A week or two ago, M and I were at one of our favorite restaurants, Raso’s Grille. We ordered a super Italian stuffed pepper and it was de-lish.

Peppers have been on my mind ever since.

Browsing the blog world this week, I came across exactly what I was looking for: a recipe for paleo stuffed mushrooms posted by Kerri, The Functional Foodie— she used portabella mushrooms, but I’m afraid of mushroom gills, so I decided to use green peppers instead and it worked out perfectly!

Paleo Stuffed Peppers (adapted from The Functional Foodie)

Ingredients:

2 green Bell peppers

1 lb Italian sausage

3 cups fresh spinach

1 medium onion

1 egg

Salt, pepper and garlic powder

First I chopped and sauteed the onion in a little bit of olive oil until browned.Then, I removed the sausage from its casing and combined with the spinach, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Once the onions had cooled, I added them to the bowl and mixed well– using your hands works best for this kind of mixing.

I gutted and halved my green peppers…

They were such a pretty color green! I love the Lady Moon Farm sticker too…I may or may not have walked around with it stuck to my hand for the rest of the night.

I filled each pepper with the sausage mixture,

and baked at 400 F for 40 minutes.

The peppers came out wonderfully! I really liked this recipe because it was so simple and really great tasting. The seasoning is already in the sausage, so you really don’t need to add much, and the sausage is the perfect consistency!
